Tips & Advice

  • Don't leave without tasting Obernai's white mulled wine at the vintners' corporation cauldron, a local specialty with its own lively atmosphere around the pot.
  • Bring a shopping bag for the Alsatian gourmet products and handmade gifts sold by artisans and producers in the wooden chalets.
  • The market is closed on Christmas Day and closes early on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, so do last-minute shopping before then.
  • Walk the town-centre streets after dark to see the lights and natural fir decorations against the Renaissance facades.
  • Choose a Friday or Saturday if you want a longer evening, since the market stays open later on those two days.
